Professional reviewers highlight the SentrySafe 1170's solid fire endurance and UL certification, but emphasize its basic security and lack of waterproofing, positioning it as an ideal solution for organized file storage rather than a high-security vault.
Everyday consumers praise the ease of carrying and file organization, but complain about the key lock feeling cheap and the lack of water resistance leading to ruined papers in floods.
Choose the 1170 for better file organization capacity, or the 1160 for ultra-portability.
Choose the 1170 for fire-only protection in dry areas, or the FHW40100 for comprehensive fire and flood protection.
